Stephanie Schroeder is a triple suicide survivor. Read that sentence again: triple – suicide – survivor. That is three more than anybody should have to deal with. Her memoir, released last year, takes us through the times that led to those attempts, taking place mainly in and around New York City from the late ‘90sRead More

Lena reviews The Third Kind of Horse by Michelle Auerbach
Lyssa, the insecure and deeply sensitive narrator of “The Third Kind of Horse,” reminds the reader several times that her story is not a love story. Each time it’s tossed off with such flippant conviction that we can’t help but believe her even as she falls in and out of love. Michelle Auerbach’s novel isRead More
Karelia Stetz-Waters reviews From the Boots Up by Andi Marquette
Students often tell me that they want to major in English because they love to read. I am professionally obligated to be happy about this announcement. However, I have reservations.

Tag reviewed Dancing with Venus by Roscoe James
Usually if I don’t already know an author, I try to not read about them until I know how their work stands on its own. Once I’m done, I’ll decide if I’m interested in the rest of the writer’s work, and find out about them as a person on the way. The more critically IRead More
Marcia reviews Born Wicked: The Cahill Witch Chronicles, Book One, by Jessica Spotswood
Quick note: This review does not discuss in-novel lesbianism at length, as I consider the hints and reveal to be a pretty significant spoiler. You’ll just have to trust me. Lesbians are here. The year is 1896, the place is New England — but it is not the New England we know, not even theRead More
Jordan reviews Fairy Tales for Princesses who love Dames by Rene von Bonaparte
Where ever I go fairy tales always follow me. Although, particularly I’ve been scavenging for fairy tales of the queer variety lately, which means I’ve picked up quite a bit of Sarah Diemer’s work, and I’ve done some reviews on some older ones like Kissing the Witch. But I wanted to try something more recentRead More
